guys, magtatanong lang ako...ano ba un first na LOTR?
fellowship of the ring ba, then two towers? o meron pa ba nauna dun sa fotr?
thanks...
The Lord of the Rings, book-wise, is actually 6 books compiled into three parts:
The Fellowship of the Ring,
The Two Towers and
Return of the King. Each part contains about 2 books.
Before
The Lord of the Rings was
The Hobbit. While
The Hobbit was written for children,
The Lord of the Rings was an epic meant to be read by adults.
J.R.R. Tolkien created a whole world in Middle-Earth.
The Silmarillion, finished and published by Tolkien's son (I think), has more info on it. Tolkien also wrote Middle-Earth's history, and invented different languages for its various peoples. The
History of Middle-Earth books (there are around...4? 6?) are being sold in National and Powerbooks now.
The Lord of the Rings movie trilogy is based on the
The Lord of the Rings books, although the beginning of
FOTR summarizes the topics found in
The Silmarillion, as well as the plot of
The Hobbit.
There're also animated versions of both
The Hobbit and
The Lord of the Rings.
Hope I helped!
